selectLink does everything selectById did in terms of link navigation.
In the above macro, you want to find and select an element having a
given ID, which is very different from link navigation.
In order to do that, you can use:
<set variable="selectedElement" expression="id('%_')" />
OR:
<command name="xpathSearch" parameter="[implicitNode] id('%_')" />
(The later command not only selects the element and automatically
scrolls the view to show it, but it will also automatically expand
collapsed sections if needed to.)
